For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Saroj Kumar Choudhary For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Vinod Shanker Modi ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL KUMAR PANWAR ORAL ORDER 30-01-2024 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner has prayed for bail in connection with Nadi P.S. Case No. 341 of 2022 instituted for the offence under Sections 8, 20, 22 and 29 of the NDPS Act.

Prosecution case relates to recovery of total 363.500 kg of ganja like intoxicating substance from the truck. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner has been falsely implicated in this present case. Petitioner has no concern either with the seized vehicle in question or with the seized ganja. Nothing has been recovered from his conscious possession. Moreover, he is languishing in judicial custody since 07.09.2022.

Learned APP appearing for the state has opposed the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.65422 of 2023(4) dt.30-01-2024 2/2 prayer of regular bail and submitted that the petitioner is named in FIR and he was arrested on spot with the seized ganja like substance. The recovered ganja is huge in quantity as per NDPS Act. During investigation, witnesses supported the prosecution case. FSL report also corroborates with the prosecution case as ganja(T.H.C.) has been detected in the examination. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of allegation, this court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and, as such, his prayer for bail stands rejected.

The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as soon as possible.
